MK and the Blues

[Love Expresso]

He kept doing so since then in a way. Playtime Deluxe for example, and much of the material on Down The Road Wherever is copied or recycled stuff. Again, lack of inspiration?  The Studio is there, the habit of writing Songs, the guitars, only thing missing .. original ideas, inspiration, music where to put the written  words over.

I think I love you too much: 3/5
Fade To Black : 4.5/5
Millonaire Blues : cringe in its purest form.

Privateering blues stuff: Good but nothing super memorable.

Miss You Blues has blues in the title but is not blues, see also Occupation Blues

I touched on another topic:) but actually Miss You Blues is blues for me

[hunter v2.0]

Oklahoma Ponies too is recycled.

But yeah, Millionaire Blues is pretty awful lol

Doesn't sound like any blues I've ever heard.

Which part is Clapton in?

LOL!
His late 70's until the From de Cradle album for sure

A few off the top of my head:

The bridge of Back on the Dancefloor is the bridge of The Letter by The Boxtops
Just a Boy Away From Home is Junkie Doll
There's another song where the bridge is the same bridge as Heart Full of Holes (can't actually remember of this song is on DTRW, I haven't listened to DTRW very much).

Bob Marley, Don Williams and Michael Jackson covers, ok, got you.

HAHAHA!
I think Clapton is more a Concert Guy than an Great Album Artist.
Of course he has great albums (most of them are from Cream, Blind Faith, Derek Dominoes and his Blues albums)
But he have awful albums like Backless, August, Behind The Sun, Journeyman, After Hours... his solo catalogue (studio albums), in my opinion, is weak.

[Rolo]

Maybe he was inspired by Bob doing so. Keep in mind that recordings for Privateering were interrupted by the Dylan Tour.

I think that way too.
Bob concerts have a lot of blues. Mainly after his Love and Theft, Modern Life, Together Through Life albums. With are, essentially Blues Albums.
MK was inspired after that 2011 tour, for sure.

"Just a Boy Away From Home is Junkie Doll"

I expected Gerry And The Peacemakers

Got to Have Something - MK's not the first person to rewrite Rolling and Tumbling and won't be the last. At least it's a bit more upbeat than the last few. 3/5

I always though that "Rolling and Tumbling" came from Robert Johnson's "If I had a possesion over judgement day"

I recommend this book.

Basically, it doesn't matter who actually wrote something, it's who copyrights it first.

In economical terms yes, but if someone wrote it first, wrote it first. I don't care who registered it, as far as I know Robert Johnson one is earlier, but I can be wrong.

I'm more interested in why Mark used the Deep Blue Sea melody in Miss You Blues.

Lazyness, lol

For me he should had left that out.
